Blu-ray to iPad Ripping,Is It Legal?

So you just bought the new iPad, and now you’re exploring all the terrific options you’ve got. You can download apps, watch Netflix and even take videos. But there is one thing missing: a Blu-ray Disc drive. Blu-Ray may be majestic, but it also has more copy protection than any other format around, is ripping Blu-ray to iPad legal?
Technology advances at a much faster pace than legislation governing digital media can keep up and subsequently, the law does not effectively mediate between content providers and consumers.

The legality of ripping Blu-ray discs is murky at best, as has been the duplication of all digital media since its advent. In a nutshell, bypassing any DRM technologies or systems is illegal. However, the laws surrounding personal use of digital media are ambiguous; while it is unlawful to rip digital media for the purpose of trafficking, it may well be legal for an individual to make personal copies of a BD if he or she is the original purchaser of the disc. If you use Blu-ray to DVD converter software, be sure it is strictly to make personal backups of Blu-ray discs you have purchased that will remain in your home specifically for personal use.
